Mecum Auctions launched the MFS lending program five years ago at Dana Mecum’s 33rd Original Spring Classic auction in Indianapolis and has since facilitated more than 3,368 individual loan transactions for the purchase of classic and collector automobiles sold at Mecum events. The success of the program inspired the recent ceremonial check presentation at this year’s Indy auction, with MFS Director Lee Giannone taking to the stage to hand the check for $153,163,470 to Mecum Auctions Founder and President Dana Mecum.
“From the beginning, we recognized an underserved market niche that, if delivered and serviced effectively, would provide value to both Mecum Auctions and our customers,” said Giannone. “Five years later, the number of transactions and total loan volume is evidence of the value that we’re providing to new and current customers to purchase the collector car of their dreams.”
MFS was developed to expand the end-to-end Mecum collector car services to include financing in addition to buying, selling and transporting, making Mecum auctions a convenient one-stop-shop for buyers and sellers alike. Unlike traditional after-purchase bank or credit union financing, which is often not offered for older classic cars, the MFS program is centered around the unique requirements of financing collector cars and motorcycles in an auction setting. MFS offers competitive rates and a simplified application process that can be completed in as few as three minutes.
